Vietnam attends Canada's leading defence, security exhibition

ABO/NDO- A delegation from the Ministry of National Defence of Vietnam led by Major General Le Quang Tuyen, Deputy Director of the General Department of Defence Industry, attended CANSEC 2024, Canada’s military equipment trade show that took place in Ottawa on May 29-30.

At the event, the Vietnamese delegation explored the product development trends, technological advances, and solutions in the defence sector of countries around the world, enabling it to make advice to the Ministry of National Defence in building and developing the domestic defence industry.

The show provided a chance for Vietnam to learn the way to organise a defence exhibition serving the Vietnam International Defence Expo 2024 slated for December 19-22, to which the delegation took the occasion to invite international businesses to attend.

The exhibition introduces modern, leading technologies, products and services for the army, navy, air force, aerospace and joint forces. CANSEC is also a place to introduce technologies and products for rapid response forces, border management agencies and special operations forces.

This year, the event featured 280 booths from leading firms such as Boeing, Airbus, Lockheed Martin, Hanwha, CAE, General Dynamics, and Thales. It drew 250 international delegations and about 4,500 visitors.
